Re: Problems installing/running AdaCore GPS (GPL) in Mandriva 2009

[Anonymous <anon@anon.org>]

Hello, and thanks for your reply.

I did add the location of the gnat binaries to my PATH variable as
described in the README file. The problems seems to be the binaries
themselves. A complete sample of the errormessage would be:
bash: ./gnat: cannot execute binary file

or
/usr/local/gnat/bin/gps: line 66: /usr/local/gnat/gps_exe: cannot 
execute binary file
/usr/local/gnat/bin/gps: line 66: /usr/local/gnat/gps_exe: Success

That's the errors when I run gnat or gps respectively.

Thanks for the tip about Kate. I will check it out.

Regards
